"Three of them stood and said their normal evening prayers together on the plane, as 1.7 billion Muslims around the world do every day, Shahin said. He attributed any concerns by passengers or crew to ignorance about Islam. " Gee...how nice of AP to leave THAT little fact out ot their story

QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) Juddling, Can I just ask what radio program you heard that on? The boys in the morning on WIND had a report from MN. Some network stringer i guess. Who knows....maybe they had an early version and they were wrong. If they were taken off just because some people on the plane had issue with the Muslims praying before the plane boarding then yeah..that's not right.

When do some people realize that in America you need to follow American laws???? The news story i heard this morning was that the flight was just about to take off when the gentleman stood up and started praying. After being told they were about to take off and needed to take their seats they got argumentitive. Personally..i think the pilot should have started take off and if the guys fell and got hurt...oh well...they were told to take their seats. I surprised they didn't ask the pilot to turn the plane so it's facing whatever direction they need to. "Shahin expressed frustration that — despite extensive efforts by him and other Muslim leaders since even before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — so many Americans know so little about Islam. "If up to now they don't know about prayers, this is a real problem," he said." I have no desire to learn about Islam and their prayer services. I'm not the problem. The guys standing in the aisles starting a 10 minute prayer(delaying the whole plane) are the problem. How about some conformity on their end???? I don't think missing a prayer to Allah will cause them to burst into flame or anything. ***note: the news story i heard on the radio was that they stood up in the aisle of the plane. That was not in the story posted so if anyone is wondering.that's where i got that fact from.

Could be some high ratings for Letterman tonight..... With pal Jerry Seinfeld already Letterman's scheduled guest on Monday's "The Late Show," Michael Richards appeared via satellite to apologize for the shocking incident at the Laugh Factory on Friday night.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Nov 19, 2006 -> 09:50 AM) Did you happen to find out how much it costs to make the games they are selling for $60 a pop? i didn't see that in the story but it did mention how the retailers are also taking a bath on the consoles but they make pretty decent money on the games and other add-ons. i would assume that THAT is where Sony is going to make their money as well.

FWIW....sounds like Sony is taking a hit on every console....makes you wonder when is too much too much...... It was clear that the cost of producing PS3 units were high for Sony, forcing the company to charge $600 per unit, but now we know exactly how high. Next-gen.biz has offered a full analysis of Sony's expenses. As it turns out, Sony is losing $306.85 for each 20GB system sold and $241.35 for every 60GB system. The full production cost for a 20GB system is a whopping $805.85, with the 60 GB coming in at $840.35. Chief among the expenses are the RSX graphics chip at $129 and the Blu-Ray optical drive at $125. In contrast, the $400 Xbox 360 only costs $323.30. For the first time in its five-year console publishing history, Microsoft is making a profit on each system sold.

Friday, November 17, 2006 George Takei to star on "Heroes" "TV Guide" will report next week that the "Star Trek" veteran will portray Hiro Nakamura's father on "Heroes" starting in January. It's a delightful turn of events. Hiro (portrayed by Masi Oka) is obsessed with "Star Trek," always quoting lines from the series. Now Takei will actually show up, not as Sulu but as a bigshot with a bodyguard. He'll turn up in the U.S. intent on kidnapping Hiro and returning him to Japan. Good luck Mr. Sulu.

Mike Tyson To Be A Prostitute Former boxing champion Mike Tyson is to become a male escort after agreeing to work at legendary Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss' new legalized brothel for women. Fleiss bought 60 acres of land in Nevada, and his work is scheduled to begin on Heidi's Stud Farm. She has high hopes for Tyson, once heavyweight champion of the world - despite the fact he is a convicted rapist. She says, "I told him, 'You're going to be my big stallion.' It's every man's fear that their girlfriend will go for Mike Tyson." Tyson, 40, adds, "I don't care what any man says, it's every man's dream to please every woman - and get paid for it." I think it's every man's fear their girlfriends cant' get away from Mike Tyson

Just the fact that this conversation has the words 'Ranger pitching prospects' makes me wonder. The Rangers have been looking for starting pitching for what seems like forever. If they have some guys down on the farm that are worth a damn i don't see why they would give up 2 for 1.

First Hollywood brought us Broakeback Mountain....now it's the ladies turn..... Beyonce to star in lesbian flick with Eva Longoria 13 November 2006 Beyonce Knowles and Eva Longoria will play lesbian lovers in a new movie. The gorgeous stars have revealed they are set to star in sexy Victorian drama Tipping The Velvet. Eva, one of the stars of hit TV show Desperate Housewives, said: "Yes it's true. We are talking about doing the movie together. It's such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story." Director Sofia Coppola is hoping to bring Sarah Water's novel about sexual repression to the big screen and is desperate for Beyonce and Eva to take the roles of a 1890s music hall star, Kitty Butler, and her lesbian lover Nan Astley. Beyonce, 25, thinks it is time the world was treated to a classic lesbian love story. The singer, who was speaking at a New York benefit for ovarian cancer, said: "We've had Brokeback Mountain so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment." Beyonce and Eva are said to be incredibly excited about the steamy love scenes and can't wait for filming on the project to start. A source revealed: "They weren't at all coy about the sex scenes. In fact they both seemed to think it would be more fun than doing the same work with a man. It's going to be very hot."

Courtney Love Confirms She'll Go Nude In Magazine Nov. 10 - Courtney Love bares her soul in a new book, and she confirms to ABC News Radio that she'll also bare her body by posing naked in Britain's Pop magazine next month. "This is going to be the next controversy," she told ABC's Dave Alpert, confirming that she had posed for the picture several weeks ago and decided she didn't like the outfits that had been picked out for her. "Just give me some stockings and a pair of high heels and ... that's it," she said she had told the photographer. "This was taken about a month ago, and I've put on about 10 pounds since then," she said, promising that she'll be "naked as the day I was born." "Isn't that crazy?" she said. "I think this is going to be the little controversy for next month." The next issue of Pop will be out in three weeks.

Female Kentucky National Guard soldiers who allegedly posed nude for pictures before being sent to Iraq will face nonjudicial, administrative sanctions rather than courts-martial, the Army said. The women were not suspended and were "busy supporting the war effort," Maj. Jay Adams, chief of public affairs for the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), told The Courier-Journal of Louisville on Tuesday. Administrative sanctions can include measures such as docking soldiers' pay or confining them to barracks. Adams said he could not release details because of federal privacy restrictions. The Courier-Journal reported in September that the Army was investigating whether women assigned to the 410th Quartermaster Unit, based in Danville, had brought discredit to the military by agreeing to be photographed. The newspaper said it had obtained a compact disc containing 232 photographs of at least a half-dozen nude and seminude women posing with military rifles and covering their breasts with American flag decals. The unit shipped out for Iraq on Aug. 26. Eleven of the 107 soldiers in the unit are women. Lt. Col. Phil Miller, a spokesman for the Kentucky Guard, said Tuesday that "as far as the leadership of the Kentucky National Guard is concerned, this incident is now closed." God Bless America!!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Recording star Faith Hill insisted on Tuesday she was just clowning around backstage at the Country Music Association Awards when cameras caught her apparently reacting with angry disbelief as rival Carrie Underwood was named female vocalist of the year. In a live TV moment replayed repeatedly on the Internet the day after Monday's awards, Hill is seen throwing her arms up in mistaken triumph as Underwood's name is read, then shouting, "What!?" directly into the camera as her smile turns to a look of shock. The three other nominees shown on split screen -- Sara Evans, Gretchen Wilson and Martina McBride -- were all seen graciously applauding when Underwood, formerly of "American Idol" fame, was announced as the winner on the ABC telecast. Hill's manager and publicist issued statements on Tuesday saying that what television audiences saw Monday night was a product of playfulness in the company of friends gathered with her backstage, not sour grapes. if(!CMSB_ID){var CMSB_ID=""} CMSB_ID+="midarticle_elections,";document.write(''); "She was just messing around," spokesman Paul Freundlich told Reuters. "She didn't realize that the camera was rolling the whole time. ... She just thought they were doing a shot when they read the nominees off." He added: "Faith is the most mild mannered, funny and goofy individual you could ever meet." Manager Gary Borman said he has known Hill, who is married to fellow country star Tim McGraw, for many years and "the idea that she would ever insult or undermine another artist, let alone another human being's success, is absolutely preposterous." "She was being playful while the nominations were being read, and playful after," he said. In a statement of her own, Hill said: "The idea that I would act disrespectful toward a fellow musician is unimaginable to me. For this to become a focus of attention given the talent gathered is utterly ridiculous. Carrie is a talented and deserving Female Vocalist of the Year." Reuters/VNU I'm far from a Faith Hill fan or anything but in her defense, she might have had people whispering to her all day that she won the award and believed them so when Ms Underwood's name was called she was really shocked. That said....Faith...maybe if your last couple of albums didn't suck so bad...you might have won something. (I curse myself for buying them for my wife).
